The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 69

Roxanne didn't realize that the one always complaining about Harrison was her own damn self.

Nor did she realize that the one who broke the heart of that hotshot lady in the luxury car was none other than Harrison.

"You're supposed to protect me?"

Harrison gently patted Roxanne's head.

Roxanne quickly pushed his hand away. "Don't touch me like it's no big deal. I wonder who it was that became so sensitive after just one little kiss yesterday."

"Alright, I'll keep my distance. Let's not cross any lines."

Harrison immediately let go.

It wasn't that he was too sensitive or didn't allow Roxanne to kiss him.

He just felt that without a foundation of love and without both parties deeply in love with each other, he shouldn't get involved with Roxanne.

What scared him more was that if she kissed him, he might lose control and do something to Roxanne.

Even though they were married and she promised to support each other and live a good life, Roxanne didn't know his true identity.

If any trouble came up and they ended up not being together, how could he face her if he had done something to such a pure and lovely girl?

That is only possible if both parties love each other and truly intend to love each other for the rest of their lives.

Otherwise, Harrison would never allow himself to do such a thing.

If Roxanne said he was sensitive, then he was sensitive.

He wouldn't bother explaining.

Time would tell.

Eventually, Roxanne would realize that he was actually a very responsible man.

"Let's go; let's go home."

Harrison got on Roxanne's e-bike.

Roxanne turned her head and asked, "I thought we were going to the market to buy groceries? If we go straight home without buying anything, what are we going to eat tonight?"

"No need for groceries. My dad had the neighbor who sells vegetables in the city bring over some meat and vegetables. They're already in the fridge at home."

Vincent didn't allow them to eat dirty food from outside.

They had a big farm at home.

They grew a lot of natural and pollution-free organic vegetables and raised a lot of farm animals.

He definitely wanted to give Roxanne the best.

When they got home, Roxanne saw that Vincent had sent over many vegetables, as well as sliced lamb and beef.

She immediately suggested, "Harrison, let's have barbecue tonight."

"If you want barbecue, then let's do it."

The two of them cooked together; one washed the vegetables, the other chopped them, and they quickly had the barbecue ready.

Sitting at the dining table, Harrison served her a bowl of meat.

Looking at the fragrant beef in the bowl, Roxanne felt mixed emotions because it had been a long time since someone had taken care of her like this.

If she hadn't married Harrison, perhaps no one would ever treat her with such care.

This simple action made her feel like she finally had a home; she no longer felt alone.

She looked up at Harrison sitting straight across from her, eating elegantly, and felt a lot of emotions.

Then she got up and got a bottle of red wine.

"Harrison, this barbecue is delicious. How about we have some red wine?"

"Drinking again?" Harrison looked at her warily.

She smiled and said directly, "Don't worry, I definitely won't get drunk and kiss you like last time."

Harrison remained silent. Clearly, he didn't believe her.

Who just had a glass of whiskey and insisted on dragging him into a kiss? She even grabbed his neck and refused to let go, insisting on kissing him.

"Why are you looking at me like that? This is red wine, not whiskey. The alcohol content isn't high. I won't cause trouble after drinking it. And I'm even planning to add some sparkling water."

Red wine with sparkling water? Probably only the not-so-wealthy would drink like this.

Harrison had never tried that way of drinking.

But when Roxanne handed him the red wine mixed with sparkling water, he tasted it.

He felt like the red wine had suddenly become cheap.

But it tasted... sweet!
